"The English have placed them-
selves beyond the pale of human re-

"They have raised the banner of
brutality and crime.
"They are utter barbarians and
as suet are not fit to be admitted to
civilized German circles."
So writes Prof, von Leyden in the
Frankfurter Zeitung. He oontinuee
in the same vein : .
"When peace has been restored
not a self-respecting German will
ever oonsent to remain in any room
of which an Englishman is the occu-
pant. If the German cannot eject
the Englishman he will himself leave
the' room,
"We- cannot be expected to
breathe the same polluted air as our
deadliest Moes who fell upon. us from
the rear and in the dark.
"Mere can be no rest or repose
for any honest German till the Bri-
tish empire has been swept into.the
oblivion of past history."
Having dealt with Russia . and
France in similar trenchant fashion,
Prof. von Leyden concludes :
"Finally therm are tale neutral
nations. Most of them side in sym-
pathy with the English, Russian's
and Frenole; most of them enter-
tain hostile feeling's against Ger-
many.
